During MODEX 2018 in Atlanta, April 9 – 12, Alfacon Solutions, a global manufacturer of flexible, rigid and telescopic conveyors to the material handling industry, will launch a new quick-connect reconfigurable conveyor system. Alfacon Solutions will share with MODEX attendees how this solution provides automation at a lower cost entry point with the flexibility to reconfigure loading areas for changing product dimensions and volumes.

The entire system locks together solidly with similar characteristics of a bolted rigid conveyor but offers much more flexibility with its ability to move on casters. All conveyor sections operate on 110V electrical current and are married together with easy-latching connections that reduce complexity and minimize on-site engineering. This allows warehouse activities to be back up and running quickly and efficiently.

Rigid reconfigurable conveyors can easily be combined with these flexible products for complete and versatile system solutions. Automated flow controls deliver added efficiencies including improved ergonomics, reduced labor costs, and improved service life.

Alfacon Solutions, the leaders in Engineered-to-Order and Custom Conveyor, Lift, and materials handling solutions, will be presenting an educational seminar at MODEX 2018 called Adaptive Conveying on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM in Theater I. The seminar will be presented by Alfacon Solutions’ Ryan McMillan, Director of Engineering and John Murdoch, CEO.

The presentation will provide attendees an overview of a configurable conveying solution and how to integrate conveying solutions into automated vehicles. The presentation will have a focus on custom configurable conveying solutions as well as integration of conveying solutions into automated vehicles. The primary advantages and disadvantages of each type of solution will be discussed. Alfacon Solutions will exhibit at booth #B637.
